As a result, we not only miss the significance of women in the biblical narrative but also misunderstand important questions in the text more broadly. Scholar Sandra Glahn argues that we need to rightly recognize the nature of biblical narrative by seeing the women in the stories as essential. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eA Woman's Place Is in the Story\u003c\/i\u003e, Glahn models how we can better read stories in their literary context and understand why the original authors included what they did. She reexamines both well-known and neglected passages, such as Tamar and Judah, the Hebrew midwives, Abigail, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Even when they seem to be minor characters, biblical women are key to moving the plot forward and revealing truths about God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn this book, you'll explore \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow leaving women out of the biblical story changes the plot and meaning that was intended, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow distorting women as they appear in the biblical story affects the way we view women in general, and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow misunderstanding how women appear in the story affects the way we view God. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWomen have always been part of the whole story of God.
